Ginger-Lemon-Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Ginger-Lemon-Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

This large-leafed Bancha is fresh-fruity and spicy-aromatic in taste. Also, thanks to the low caffeine content of the autumn harvest, it is ideal for the whole family. Bancha is produced from the pruning after the main harvest, using mainly the larger leaves. 

For the Aki-Bancha used here, the unshaded leaves from the autumn harvest are used. 

Like simple Bancha, the ginger-lemon Bancha is often drunk with meals. Due to the strong aroma of lemon verbena and ginger, it is especially suitable for more hearty dishes. 

In summer, the tea also tastes very refreshing when cold. To enjoy as iced tea pour the tea hot and let it cool down.

Storage

In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark. 

Ingredients: Grüntee, Ingwer & Zitronenverbene (21%) Alle Zutaten aus kontrolliert biologischem Anbau
Origin: Germany

Green tea preparation

Prepare

Prepare

Provide one cup with a capacity of 80 to 100 ml per person. Depending on the variety, let the boiled water cool down to 80° to 60°C. To do so, pour the water into a cooling bowl or directly into the cups to cool, which also pre-warms them.
Dose

Dose

Add one level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay teapot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Let the first infusion steep for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.
Pour

Pour

If the tea is served to several people, first pour only a little tea into each cup and then top them up in reverse order. This way the tea is equally strong in all cups. The pouring motion gradually gives the tea its proper green colour. Also pour out the last “golden” drops to prevent the tea from over-steeping.
Enjoy

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet is often served with the unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Let it steep for only about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already expanded and releases its ingredients more quickly. Serve promptly all round.

Genmaicha with Matcha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Genmaicha with Matcha - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Kabuse Genmaicha + Matcha is a traditional speciality made of green tea mixed with roasted rice (Genmai) and fresh green tea powder (Matcha). Kabusecha from the second picking is used for the KEIKO Genmaicha + Matcha creating a full flavour with a pleasant roasted note in the infusion. The Matcha Powder adds a magnificent, intense green colour as well as all its nutrients and aroma to the mix. The rich aroma makes Genmaicha a popular accompaniment to meals. When it is cold, the pleasant roasting aromas warm up, but even on warm days, a cold Genmaicha (prepared hot as usual and then set in the fridge to cool down) is a wonderful refreshment.   In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we ask you to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.

Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Kabuse Bancha is a green tea speciality made from the pruning of the tea plants after the main harvest, usually after the last harvest in summer or autumn. However, KEIKO Bancha is harvested in spring and processed as carefully as only Sencha or Kabusecha is usually processed. In spring, the leaves contain particularly high levels of theanine, which gives this unusual Bancha a particularly mild, harmonious aroma. It is light green in the cup and an ideal family and beginners green tea. In Japan Bancha is often served in restaurants. Kabusecha Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika". Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
